I use nRGBlib, and the vehicle is just a tile being displayed.
I guess I'll check out the source and modify that

A tile is a sprite, basically. And you can still ask the author of nRGBlib (I forgot his name :P) to add this feature.

I just doubled the speed of the program, and now it runs at a good speed and is still quite smooth

After midterms, I'm going to improve scrolling and add nonlinear gravity, completing the movement engine.
Then, there will be a crafting building, probably some ore trading station, and some kind of coal liquefaction building for fuel. In addition, some buildings (for I don't know what) will probably spawn underground.

Any other features that you all think should be added?

What optimization strategies did you implement to double the speed?

Update:

Working collisions!
It's about time!

Also, horizontal movement is now smooth.
Gravity is still linear; it's giving me more trouble than horizontal scrolling.

I'm loving it!!!  :)

Gotta love how the sprites are all ripped from minecraft and motherload. Still, this looks pretty cool. Are you planning on making blocks replaceable ala minecraft, or permanently destroyed like motherload?

I didn't really optimize, I just doubled all the movement speeds :P

MOAR MEWVMANT UPDAETS!

Smooth vertical movement added, collisions improved, and now scrolling doesn't look bad :P
So aside from some tweaking, movement is done. One thing I need to fix is that whenever the user is flying, the car always faces right.

And here's how the game runs on the actual calculator.


Coming up next (after tweaking movement), crafting and fuel.

Looks nice ! :D I think that the digging speed is a bit low though.

Agreed. It's looking awesome, however. It's very fluid.

Wow, that does look great! I'd have to agree with Matrefeytontias though. Digging speed could definitely be increased.

I had an idea today: if you're not happy with the propellor animation, why don't you add little rockets underneath it? That way it looks better I think.

Personally, I think the digging speed is fine. In the actual game, digging takes nigh-on forever, so this is a nice little reminder that we can't get what we want all the time ^^

I think what really needs improvement, however, is the digging/disappearing blocks thing - I don't know how the CX works, but is it possible to have an animation instead where the block slowly disappears from the top down or left/right or whatever?

The digging time was originally twice as long, actually O.O
This also is the stock drill, so it'll be pretty slow.
For digging I might do minecraft style were the blocks slowly crack and add particles coming from the drill

Nice to see a TI-Nspire clone of this. SirCmpwn was working on a TI-83+ one but I don't know what ever happened to it.
